A day in the garden: help Hellen in Nairobi
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Hellen's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya485 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Nairobi for 48 years. After the storm in June, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of arthritis.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
